Week 2 Thoughts

Looks like my Niners vs. Rams instincts were pretty accurate... unfortunately. It was a much closer game than I originally would have thought. The Niners basically gave the game away. They dominated the first half defensively, but looked equally as bad in the second half. All they had to do was put three additional points on the board, but a missed kick here, a failure to fall on the ball there, and a lost coin toss ended the Niners hopes.

Both Bay Area teams were at opposite ends of closely played games, but a similar question can be asked for both teams: Has the losing team progressed so far that they were able to make it close or has the winning team fallen back to the rest of the pack?
In both the Niners and Raiders cases, I'd have to say that the later answer must be true. The Rams are simply not the team they once were, but the Niners, especially on the offensive side of the ball, look no different than teams of the last couple of years. As for the Raiders, the Bengals are still the Bengals. They shouldn't have posed a challenge for more than a quarter for a team that was in the Superbowl last year.

Early Superbowl Contenders (Note: This is why they play a 16 game season):
Kansas City, Denver, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Seattle, Minnesota, Carolina, and Washington.
